The Best Time of the Day Show with Alex brings you more great music and unpredictable chat to keep you entertained through the small hours. Album and Record of the Week included.
Let The Dark Lord keep you awake through the night with his unique mix of brilliant music and hilarious conversation. On the show this morning there are tales of huge objects misplaced in the thread, You Big Loser, more imaginary L-plates, and we welcome more newcomers to the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
There are more tracks from Alex's personal CD collection in the feature, Lester's Library; this morning they come from country artist, Chris Young, and a new track from Barenaked Ladies. Your choice from the Listener's Library comes from Beth Nielsen Chapman, there is another play of Record of the Week from Kylie Minogue, a classic Spencer Davis Group track from Album of the Week by Steve Winwood, and Pause for Thought with Steve Williams at 3.20am.
